Recruit Central

I have worked with Ken and his team in two different jobs and I must say that they are always 100% correct and transparent. Recruit Central is a place to go if you are looking for a job.

Disclaimer : We do not leave negative reviews for companies as we fully understand the power of customer feedback and what it can do to negatively affect a business. In this instance we feel that we do need to leave this negative review as a warning to other business owners. The inability of Recruit Central to perform due diligence checks led us to illegally employ a candidate which we were assured was fully legal to work. The facts : We employed the services of Martin Phillips of Recruit Central to assist in the hiring of an MOT Tester. A candidate was sent over for interview, all seemed well so we offered them a position within the company subject to the usual checks - the candidate wanted to join us on a self employed basis, which we agreed was fine as long as they have the required UTR number which is a legal requirement for self employed people. Martin assured us that the candidate does have the required information and is eligible to work. We made repeated calls to Recruit Central to request the UTR number so that we could pay the candidate (at this point the candidate had worked for us for 1.5 weeks) We later found out that Recruit Central had not completed their check's - It turns out that the candidate was in fact not registered for UTR and is ineligible to work on a self employed basis. Regrettably we had no option other than to let the candidate go. We paid Recruit Central 1248.00 for the candidate, so naturally we requested a refund - Martin assured us that this would be taken care of with immediate effect. We have made endless phone calls, sent many email messages to Recruit Central to chase this refund up - all requests have been ignored. It appears that Martin Phillips is still with the company but now takes a back seat and his colleague Richard Thompson is the now main character. After exchanging several more emails and yet more phone calls with Richard he has blatantly refused to refund the money back to us. We are a fair size company employing over 100 people over 18 sites - we regularly use recruitment agencies to find good quality staff and have never had such a poor service from any other agency. We encourage other business owners not to employ the unprofessional, unreliable and dishonest services of Recruit Central LTD. We really didn't want to put this review out, we hoped to sort the issue out directly with Recruit Central - we would hate for any other business to have their fingers burnt. Thank you
